If you're looking for a small or medium size eCommerce portal, nopCommerce is the best framework. 1. Cost = open sourced framework. You will just simply bypass the application design and development process, but you will have to code to do whatever you want to do for your business needs. It will save you a lot of time and money. 2. Technical Architecture = It was created with the best application design and architecture. If you are not into eCommerce, but want to understand EntityFrame code first and domain architecture, Dependency Injection,..etc, nopCommerce is the one. 3. I'm sure your business users will ask for the features that are already included with nopCommerce.

My favorite scenario is when a customer calls and doesn't know their login for our website. We sell snowboards, very seasonal, so people tend to forget login and password info quite a bit. No need to send a reset or anything along those lines - I can reset the password and immediately tell them the update. Super easy!

I have asked numerous questions and the team treats my random questions as if they are critical to the continued success of their product. They really take each users' questions to heart and strive to solve them. I cannot commend them enough on how fast they respond to questions as well as the follow-through given to things thay may or may not even be a part of their platform.

Go for a plugin based development if you would like to extend nopCommerce. This approach will make it easier for you to upgrade the software.

nopCommerce gives us the flexibility to create solutions for our customers that can grow as their business grows. You'll never feel boxed in. The core nopCommerce solution comes with a solid selection of shipping and payment providers, and has a marketplace for a host of others. Best of all, if you have an existing relationship with a payment gateway that you like, but doesn't have an existing plugin available, we can easily build it for you. Custom CRM & ERP integrations are one of the key capabilities of this platform.
